Adding Projects in SVN using tortoise

I want to know how to add my existing project in svn, checked some tutorials tutorial1 but none of them helped.

In the above link, they described some steps to create repository but i could do only till second step. After creating directories in new folder, i was trying to import files from existing project but getting the following error :

Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///C:/svn/MyProject'
Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
Unable to open repository 'file:///C:/svn/MyProject'

N.B. The TortoiseSVN menu is reached by clicking on the folder or file and then right click.

  1. Create your repository on your server - Note the URL
  2. Clone to your hard drive TortoiseSVN->CheckOut - from the same URL/trunk
  3. Add files to the directory on your hard drive, by creating or copying
  4. TortoiseSVN->Add the files this marks them as potentially part of the repository
  5. TortoiseSVN->Committ this sends them to the URL

Both before and after committing to the repository it is a good idea to also do TortoiseSVN->Update so as to frist get anybody else's changes into your copy and then to mark your copy as up to date.

Note that it is accepted as good practice to check-out at 2) our from YourUrl/trunk as this will help when you get into working on branches & tags later.
